IMTOUR
Ma WESTAF, e loiloi mau ʻia kā mākou papahana a me nā paepae. Mai ka makahiki 2012, ua ulu aʻe ʻo IMTour mai kahi papahana huakaʻi hoʻokele a hiki i kahi kahua pūnaewele WESTAF e kākoʻo ana i nā mea hoʻokani pila kūʻokoʻa ma o ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā haʻawina i nā mea hōʻikeʻike ʻole. Hāʻawi ʻia i nā mea nui a me nā mana o ka hui WESTAF a me ka waiwai nui e pono ai e hoʻolilo iā IMTour i mea pāʻani i kahi ʻāina hoʻokūkū, e like me ka mea i hōʻike mua ʻia, e napoʻo koke ana ʻo IMTour. Ma ʻApelila 1, 2020, ua hoʻopuehu ʻia nā kālā hāʻawi a pau a ua pani ʻia ka papahana hāʻawi. ʻAʻole ʻae ka pūnaewele IMTour.org i nā kau inoa hou, a ma ka lā 15 o Mei e pani ʻia ka pūnaewele. E like me kāu e ʻike ai, ʻo kēia ka lua o ka ʻoihana pāʻoihana (me YouJudgeIt) i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e WESTAF i ka makahiki i hala i mea e kālele ai, hoʻoheheʻe ʻia a loaʻa i kāna mau ʻoihana pūnaewele kūpono loa a me ka misionari.

ʻO ia wale nō i kēia manawa — mahalo iā ʻoe e like me ka mālama mau ʻana i ka hana a WESTAF a no ka hōʻike ʻana i kā mākou ʻoihana kūloko a me ka ʻāina o ke komohana o nā keʻena, nā hui a me nā mea kūʻai aku. Mahalo mākou iā ʻoe!

E like me ka wā ma mua,
